Research Profile

Core Research Theme

Multiferroic Composites

My research is centered on fabricating and understanding materials where magnetic and electric properties are intrinsically linked. By synthesizing novel composites and exploring their behavior under various conditions, the goal is to contribute to the development of next-generation sensors, memory devices, and energy-efficient electronics.

Key Activities

  • Novel material synthesis (e.g., BaFe₁₀Sc₂O₁₉:KNbO₃).
  • Design of custom probes for cryogenic measurements.
  • Structural analysis using Neutron & X-Ray Diffraction.
  • Characterization of magnetic and electric properties.
